98. Redefining Wellness after Brain Injury (with Taryn Barlow)
When every day is a challenge through symptoms, it can be hard to feel even any sort of “well.” Today we are talking about how to redefine the concept of wellness on our brain injury journey to help us uncover our own path of recovery!After a brain injury, wellness can feel distant. In this episode, Cristabelle invites Taryn Barlow, a speech language pathologist and cognitive health coach who owns a private practice called The Well Brain, for a conversation to encourage survivors & families to explore how to redefine wellness. We dig into finding your own path of what wellness means to you, including what neuro goals are significant to your personal recovery and a holistic perspective of spiritual wellness. It’s so important to learn how to connect with your values in a personal way, and redefine what wellness means to you - which will ultimately help us to move forward with hope!Connect with Taryn - IG: Taryn_TheWellBrain | https://thewellbrainslp.com/We are launching a new nonprofit - Hope Survives!🩵Get involved: https://www.hopesurvives.org/getinvolved---CONNECTFind more resources, podcast episodes, & our monthly zoom support group: hopesurvives.org | @hopesurvivesHosted by Cristabelle Braden: @cristabellebraden | cristabellebraden.comListen to the intro song "Hope Survives" by Cristabelle Braden on all music streaming platforms!0:00 Intro1:52 Welcome with Cristabelle10:25 Introducing Taryn and The Well Brain20:15 Making Sense of Symptom Experience27:45 Redefining Personal Wellness33:00 Finding Your Why - Process towards Holistic Wellness38:20 Take the First Step41:15 It is Well with My Soul44:45 Pursuing Wellness in Your Own Way51:00 Words of HopeThis podcast is for education and informational purposes only, and not intended for medical advice.
